under the bridge
Shelter lines stretching

Family sleeping in the cars

Sittin' down here in the campfire light

Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock

Where a hungry newborn baby cries
A fight against the blood hatred in the air

If there's somebody fighting
for a place to stand

Or a decent job or a helping hand
If there's someone struggling to be free

Just look in their eyes,
Ma, and you'll see

The highway is alive tonight
